Gu Santong's gaze sharpened, like a drawn sword aimed directly at Luke's mind.
"Fight me with all your might and let me see just how strong your 'strength' really is."
Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Luke's eyes. He nodded and said, "Alright, as you wish."
Before the words were even finished, their auras instantly surged to their peak. The air inside the cave seemed to freeze, an invisible pressure spread out, and even the loose rocks on the cave ceiling began to tremble slightly.
Gu Santong's golden body reappeared, his golden skin gleaming in the sunlight, while Luke's palms also turned golden once more, as if two golden war gods were about to engage in an earth-shattering duel.
This is a duel between two Vajra Indestructible Divine Skills, or more precisely, a duel between the complete version of the Ancient Three Paths Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and what Luke had comprehended from the Ancient Three Paths Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
Luke's golden palm collided with Gu Santong's golden body, producing a deafening sound that caused the entire prison to tremble slightly.
Two powerful forces converged in the air, like two mountains colliding, and the resulting strong winds swept through the entire cave, raising dust and scattering rocks everywhere.
The golden statue of Gu Santong is like an immortal god, its golden skin shimmering brightly in the sunlight, as if it can withstand all attacks in the world.
His eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if telling Luke that his indestructible martial arts had reached its peak and no one could break it.
However, Luke's golden hand was not a simple imitation, but rather a result of his own unique understanding of martial arts, building upon Gu Santong's foundation.
His palms seemed to contain boundless power, each strike carrying an indescribable mystery, as if capable of penetrating all defenses and striking directly at the opponent's soul.
The battle between the two intensified, and each collision caused the walls of the prison to groan under the strain.
Gu Santong's punches were as fierce as thunder, each punch carrying the momentum to destroy everything, while Luke's movements were as unpredictable as a ghost, each dodge perfectly timed, as if he had already predicted Gu Santong's every move.
"Good lad, you've got some skills after all!"
Gu Santong laughed loudly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He no longer held back, his inner energy erupting like a volcano, the golden light of his body becoming increasingly dazzling, as if to illuminate the entire cave.
Luke remained calm and composed, his eyes revealing a profound wisdom, as if he had already seen through every move of Gu Santong.
His palm turned golden again, and this time, it seemed to contain an invisible power that could devour everything.
Their fists collided again, and this time, the entire prison seemed to tremble, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Gu Santong's golden statue trembled slightly, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
He felt an unprecedented pressure, as if his invincible martial arts were somewhat fragile in front of Luke.
"This...how is this possible?" Gu Santong muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In fact, nothing is impossible. By integrating the wisdom of five worlds and gaining a comprehensive understanding, Luke grasped the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill extremely quickly. Even though he never truly knew the secret of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, he had already roughly figured out the principles through subtle hints.
"Nothing is impossible in this world. The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is indeed impressive, but that's all it is!"
The Triple Rebirth Technique still shines brightly in this world. Luke's ability to comprehend his own "Indestructible Hand" so quickly owes a great deal to the Triple Rebirth Technique.
"You've helped me out, so tell me what you need and I'll try my best to meet it."
Luke's golden hands returned to normal, and he spoke solemnly.
Gu Santong shook his head and said, "I have no more attachments in this world, and I will just live out my days here. If you can, please give that old pig Zhu Wushi a good meal, and that will be your way of repaying me."
Luke raised an eyebrow and said, "Beating him up shouldn't be a problem. Judging from the situation, he shouldn't be too difficult to beat."
Gu Santong was as famous as Zhu Wushi, and in fact, Gu Santong was even stronger back then.
Although Gu Santong has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for many years and his progress has been limited, even if Zhu Wushi has made more progress than Gu Santong, it wouldn't be by much. Gu Santong has already been defeated, so defeating Zhu Wushi shouldn't be a problem.
"But wouldn't it be more satisfying for you to beat him up yourself, Fang?"
"Is it all because of these four words?"
Luke was a little confused, and he also glanced at the iron plaque behind him that was engraved with the four characters "Iron-Blooded Marquis".
Since Gu Santong (Li Qianhao) has the title of "Invincible Mischievous Child," it is not only because he has fought all over the world without ever being defeated, but also because he is mischievous and unconventional. How could he be so pedantic as to shy away from these four words just because of a single sentence?
Note that Gu Santong's personality was mischievous, not unruly.
After defeating his opponent, he would at most tease him, but in most cases he would not kill him.
Of course, there are a few people who can't accept defeat, and if that's the case, don't blame Gu Santong for taking their lives.
"What has imprisoned me here is not these four words, but my own promise. What right does a man have to face the woman he loves if he doesn't keep his promise?"
What imprisoned Gu Santong was never the title "Iron-Blooded Marquis," but rather the guilt he felt for accidentally killing Su Xin.
Looking at Gu Santong, who seemed to be reminiscing about the past, Luke felt a toothache.
Chapter 194: Comprehensive Martial Arts: The Power of Pure Yang Finger, the Principle of Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill
These two are all a bit love-struck.
If Luke remembers correctly, the actress who plays Su Xin and the actress who plays his cousin Yin Tianxue are the same person. He wonders if they will have any similarities in this world. It would be interesting if they really had the exact same face.
Love-struck people are terrifying creatures. What's terrifying is that they imagine themselves as being devoted to love to the death.
Of course, Gu Santong only became love-struck after he believed Su Xin was dead. When Su Xin was still alive, he was only focused on practicing martial arts and fighting, and he didn't even know that Su Xin had given birth to his son.
hiss!.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Santong really does have some scumbag traits!
In fact, there was another important reason why Gu Santong was unwilling to go out: the Pure Yang Finger injury on his body had not yet been healed.
The injury caused by the Pure Yang Finger technique was inflicted by Zhu Wushi.
The Pure Yang Finger Force was extremely refined and as hot as fire, and it had been tormenting him for years. If it weren't for his profound skill, he would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago.
Over the years in the prison, he lacked medical care and medicine, and his injuries did not improve at all. Moreover, he ate snakes, insects, rats and ants that bred in dark places, and occasionally birds that fell into the air. He was not getting enough nutrition, so he could not even use his internal energy to recover from his injuries.
Therefore, over the years, the injury to Chunyang Finger has become increasingly serious.
If Zhu Wushi hadn't occasionally sent in martial arts masters to test his skills, giving him the opportunity to absorb their power and blood to replenish himself, he probably would have already died from his injuries.
When he fought Luke, both of them were careful and did not aggravate Chunyang Finger's injury.
But if we were to fight Zhu Wushi, it would inevitably be a life-or-death battle, and then things would be unpredictable.
In the original story, he passed on all his skills to Cheng Shifei, but he died suddenly within a short time. When Zhu Wushi saw Cheng Shifei using the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill outside and rushed to the prison, he only saw Gu Santong's charred bones, which were emitting heat.
It should be noted that only a few days had passed between Gu Santong's transmission of power and Zhu Wushi's discovery of Cheng Shifei, yet Gu Santong was reduced to a pile of bones. Even a corpse wouldn't decompose that quickly. This demonstrates the power of the Pure Yang Finger.
"Pure Yang Finger? The name sounds so similar to One Yang Finger, could there be some connection between the two?"
Finger techniques are extremely rare in the world, mainly because they are difficult to learn, unlike fist, palm, and leg techniques which are easier to learn directly.
There are only a handful of finger techniques in the world. The Dali Duan family's One-Finger Divine Skill is one, and the Shaolin One-Finger Zen Skill is another. As for the Vajra Finger, it is more like a grappling-type external martial art. It only trains finger strength. Once mastered, even without internal energy, breaking stones and wood is just a piece of cake.
In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, the most famous skill is actually Lu Xiaofeng's "Lingxi Finger".
Finger techniques like Pure Yang Finger, judging from their names, seem to focus on internal energy cultivation; without sufficient internal energy cultivation, one cannot achieve mastery.
Gu Santong explained, "The Pure Yang Finger is a secret martial art passed down by the Ming Dynasty royal family. As for where it came from, that is unknown. The Pure Yang Finger emphasizes cultivating a breath of pure Yang energy in the fingertips, with the heart fire as the guide and blood and qi as the fuel. Once you are hit by the Pure Yang Finger, the finger force is like a maggot clinging to your bone, difficult to get rid of unless you use your superior internal strength to forcibly expel it from your body. But even doing so will inevitably lead to deficiency of both blood and qi, and a great loss of vitality."
"Because the pure yang energy of the Pure Yang Finger is attached to the yang energy of the person with the middle finger, rather than simply a physical injury. My Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is extremely strong and yang. Old Pig took advantage of this and used the Pure Yang Finger to ambush me, preventing me from using the full power of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill."
Luke suddenly realized that the body's yang energy is like gasoline or other combustion aids, while the pure yang energy carried by the Pure Yang Finger is equivalent to an open flame.
The result of an open flame meeting gasoline is obvious.
Normally, the injury from the Pure Yang Finger is troublesome, but Gu Santong is not without options. However, once Gu Santong uses the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and his body's Yang energy is concentrated, the situation becomes dire. The fact that Gu Santong is still alive can only be attributed to his profound skill and rich combat experience.
Gu Santong's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is the most powerful and yang martial art in the world. Once it is used, the whole body is like being cast in metal and iron, impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.
However, the greater the power of this divine skill, the more intensely it consumes Yang energy.
Pure Yang refers to the pure Yang energy that is like a maggot clinging to a bone. Once it encounters the Yang energy of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, it is like cooking oil over a raging fire, instantly unleashing unimaginable heat.
Although Gu Santong possessed profound skills, under the impact of these two yang energies, his body felt as if it were being burned by raging fire, causing him unbearable pain.
Over the years, Gu Santong racked his brains in the prison and finally found a way to temporarily suppress the injury of the Pure Yang Finger.
He used the cold, yin energy in the prison to suppress his yang energy in his dantian, preventing it from leaking out.
In this way, although the injury of the Pure Yang Finger cannot be completely cured, it can at least delay the onset of its symptoms.
However, this method also has its drawbacks. Once Gu Santong uses the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, the suppressed yang energy will burst out instantly, and the injury to the Pure Yang Finger will also worsen.
Having just fought Luke, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was activated, which aggravated the injury of the Pure Yang Finger by three points.
Taoism emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang. Too much Yin or too much Yang is not a good thing and can easily cause various illnesses.
Internal energy cultivation also emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang. The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill belongs to the extreme Yang, while the Absorption Technique belongs to the extreme Yin. The combination of the two can also achieve the balance of Yin and Yang.
Zhu ignored the single cultivation method of absorbing energy, so he had the Pure Yang Finger to coordinate with it, which prevented an imbalance of Yin and Yang.
Gu Santong had already mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, but his skill in absorbing internal energy was not very profound, because given his personality, he disdained such a skill that yielded benefits without effort.
Gu Santong was a pure martial arts fanatic who enjoyed the fun of practicing martial arts and the process of becoming stronger. How could someone like him be interested in a cheating martial art like the Absorption Technique?
Moreover, he was in the Heavenly Prison, and to master the Absorption Technique, hard practice was useless; he needed to absorb the power of others.
Zhu Wushi had no taboos in the outside world, so his Absorption Technique had reached its peak, even surpassing the level of the Eccentric Hero of Tianchi. Even without the Pure Yang Finger, he didn't need to worry about the imbalance of Yin and Yang.
However, Gu Santong was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and had not seen many people in the past twenty years. His progress in the Absorption Technique was extremely slow, and its effect on suppressing his injuries was negligible.
Chapter 195: Martial Arts Chronicle: Gu Santong Escapes, His Roar Shakes the Four Directions
The Pure Yang Finger technique clashes with the Yang energy of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, making it nearly impossible for Gu Santong to find a balance. He once tried to guide the pure Yang energy of the Pure Yang Finger out of his body, but this method was not only dangerous but also had limited effectiveness.
He had also considered using the cold, yin energy in the prison to neutralize the heat of the Pure Yang Finger, but this method could only provide temporary relief and could not cure the problem.
After listening to Gu Santong's story, Luke suddenly laughed and said...
"I see. Well, never mind then. But since I've already owed you this favor, I can't just leave it unpaid. How about I heal your injury for you?"
Gu Santong scoffed and said, "If this injury were so easy to heal, would I have been in jail for so many years?"
Luke smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luke's black hair turned white, his eyes shone with a strange light, his skin became almost transparent white, and he was shrouded in an unknown white mist. His green robe also turned into white.
This is precisely the extraordinary phenomenon that initiates the triple rebirth.
The second level of the Reverse Rebirth Triad allows one to regenerate severed limbs. Not only can one regenerate severed limbs, but with sufficient power, the injuries of others can also be fully restored. Although Luke is practicing a modified version in this world, the effect remains unchanged. Moreover, Luke has already reached the third level of the Reverse Rebirth Triad, making healing Gu Santong's injuries a piece of cake.
Gu Santong, of course, knew nothing about the Triple Rebirth.
He stared blankly at Luke's change, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Although he was well-traveled and knowledgeable, he had never seen such strange martial arts.
